Hmm, it's definitely not good...

They don't, but at the same time, keep in mind that the iPhone 4S came out in the previous 3 months, which is going to heavily skew the numbers.
After the next 3 months, with the new Nokia phones coming out, I think MS will see an uptick for sure.

Yeap no surprises there; I have a WP device my self and it runs perfect but when I can't transfer files via Bluetooth to some one who needs the ASAP or I can't freaking attach an audio file to mms what do you expect? Especially since this technologhy has been around since forever! Come on Why can't I add a simple wallpaper to my start screen? because MS says it takes away from the Metro UI? That has got to be the gayest **** I've ever heard. No one wants to use the stupid ass cloud for everything; granted it is good for extra storage and is excellent if your phone breaks down and you need your data back but not for everthing. Zune, don't get me started on Zune, the reason I got a WM device verses an iPhone is because of iTunes and now Windows pulls this B.S. where everything I do has to be done through Zune? This is MS own fault and they better wise up or they will loose.

Is this US or worldwide?

No feeding of the trolls please.

Verizon WP7 devices coming soon!

As you already know, WP7 is only available to GSM providers. Leaving out US cdma carriers like Verizon and Sprint. But there is a slimmer of hope for those under the Big Red. A few apps from Verizon had made it to the marketplace, such as My Verizon Mobile. Verizon is the biggest carrier in the US and may give WP7 the push it needs. Also may WP7 up to other CDMA carriers like US Cellular

Geohot to Jailbreak Windows Phone 7

Geohot has just updated his simple blog mentioning that he will start his way to jailbreak iPhone 7, he may want to make Microsoft mad. I think this kind of jailbreak will be more simple than the one on Apple's iOS devices.

perhaps a more appropriate way to deal with jailbreakers
I'm going out to buy a Windows 7 phone
As usual, it's expected that Geohot will add a singificant progress and transformation on the Windows Phone 7 jailbreak scene. By this step we can say that Geohot is the first hacker who beats three giants like Apple, Sony and Microsoft. Stay tuned.
actually MS is totally cool with it, check out what brandon watson (director of WP7) tweeted at him.
welcome geohot!!!
Holy balls thats amazing! Go microsoft!
yeah first they turn a blind eye to us getting PVKs and even give them out to admitted HD2 users, now they're welcoming a famous iPhone hacker and offer him a free phone,
I'm starting to change my mind about MS if they keep this up.
Well, WP7 will sure need jailbrakers after first update.
For now, its cool.
They're as cool as Google with Android. Do whatever you want, but piracy.

No HDMI-output is a bummer

For the most part I think MS did a great job in setting high-quality standards for their first gen phones and I'm very satisfied with my Focus. But the greedy power-nerd in me wishes the phones came with HDMI-output.
I'm a little confused as to why MS would leave this out actually. It is coming standard on a lot of high-end phones now. Unless they plan to use the Xbox 360 as an AirPlay-like streaming box (I don't know if you can do that as of now because I don't own one), how does MS expect to offer a competing video out feature?
I remember hearing a story about how MS was planning to introduce a USB-out feature and if they do that would be great because it would be cheaper than the ripoff third party HDMI docks. But I'm worried it won't be able to match up to HDMI's quality.
Anyway, I know this isn't a big deal and it shouldn't be at the top of the fixes/additions list for MS. But can you blame a guy who recently got a 50-inch? I want to use the damn thing for something besides football!
EDIT: I found the PocketNow article about USB A/V out. http://pocketnow.com/windows-phone/report-microsoft-bringing-microusb-a-v-out-to-windows-phone-7
they miss a standard IO port for using external addons hardware too

Dell isn't on the list....wonder what that means....
They still haven't fix the only WP7 phone they released, maybe this isn't such a loss.
True, but I prefer the Dell set-up compared to the other phones (vertical slider phone, with AMOLED screen)....
the design from dell is good
but dell killed their own device. I have no sympathy for dell
But then again, Nokia isn't on there. So maybe don't read too much into it?

Nokia was on there, I watched it live. See that big empty space in the middle, there was a big Nokia logo appearing just there.

According to engadget it doesn't mean much. Only that while LG, Samsung, HTC and the three new manufactures have now more or less announced a new Windows Phone 7 (or at least promised to release one), Dell was not yet able to say they will.
Time will tell and Dell might be back or not, but I guess it's Nokia that will sell the majority of phones.

I get this is an android forum.. but... why all the hate? This is getting worse than the iSheeple.
If we all have a Note... doesn't it mean anything? In the end.. the one that mixes the good from each one will get ahead.

You just don't get it do you...people don't really care that much about Apple..and many really do despise the company. Most of your posts are complaining that your Note II isn't like a I-phone or the I-phone is sooo much better with IOS...I said to you before...start fixing what you don't like..instead of complaining about it..cause I really don't think Samsung is ever going to be or make their phones work & act like the I-phone..
Mac
well in the ip4 keyboard, the word "samsung" is there...
sorry if I start a fight by accident. I don't know much about the history of it.
afterall, i am just stating a fact, not any opinion. i will leave that to you. LOL.
